Sell your semi truck for cash in La Plata the easy and convenient way

The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists two sand and gravel operations, CR #2 and #204-RC II, each 11.3 miles south of La Plata. A tandem dump, a belly dump or the tractor that pulls an end-dump trailer between those pits is the kind of truck we buy from owners here, and we can collect it at the pit if that is where it is parked.

Owners who haul for either pit often keep the truck at home in La Plata between jobs. Tell us which address the truck is at today, and whether a gate or a site contact stands between our tow rig and the truck.

Gravel work rarely leaves a neat paper trail, so gather what you do have before you call: the title in your name, the current New Mexico registration, and a few photos showing the bed, the frame and the cab.

Further out, at 19.4 miles south-west of La Plata, the Waterflow Pit is recorded by the Mine Safety and Health Administration as an industrial-mineral mine. Haul trucks and water trucks assigned to a mine site like that are on our list, and an owner based near Waterflow can sell without first bringing the truck up the valley.

Send us the VIN, the odometer reading and the spot where the truck sits at Waterflow. If the mine requires an escort or a safety briefing before outside vehicles enter, mention it in your first message so pickup is arranged around the site’s own rules.

Some 21.1 miles south-east of town, a petroleum product terminal named Bloomfield appears in the Energy Information Administration’s listings. Tractors that pull fuel tankers out of that terminal, and straight-truck fuel delivery units, are trucks La Plata owners can sell to us.

If the tank trailer is going with the tractor, say so and photograph both, including the plates on each. Keep any tank inspection certificates together with the title; they describe the equipment more clearly than a description over the phone can.

In USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, San Juan County counts 2,877 farms, and its leading lines are cattle, sheep and horses. From La Plata that means gooseneck haulers, cattle pots behind a tractor, and flatbeds that carry hay bales to pasture, all of which we take from ranch owners.

A ranch truck may be parked down a dirt lane or behind a barn rather than at the house. Give us directions from the paved road and tell us whether a tow rig can reach it after rain; a dropped pin from your phone works well.

When a ranch truck is titled to a family trust or a ranch company instead of to you, tell us at the start. The person named on the title is the one who signs it over, so knowing early saves a second trip.

The New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division issues titles through its MVD field offices, and the closest to La Plata is NM MVD Field Office - Farmington at 3501 E Main St #N, Farmington, 87402, about 10.4 miles away. If your title is missing, that office is where a La Plata owner applies for a duplicate before the sale.

Bring your identification and the VIN when you visit the Farmington counter. Once the replacement title is in your hands, send us a photo of it with your truck photos and we can move ahead.

On New Mexico’s register, the Advanced Clean Trucks rule is listed as in force, setting a medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle requirement along with reporting and compliance terms. For a La Plata owner selling a diesel truck to us, the title transfer runs the usual way.

The Heavy-Duty Omnibus rule, covering exhaust emission standards for heavy-duty engines, is in force under the same part of the register. A La Plata seller still needs only the signed title, the registration and clear photos of the truck.

• Will you collect a dump truck parked at one of the gravel pits south of La Plata?CR #2 is 11.3 miles south of La Plata on the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s list, and we collect from pits like it. Tell us who at the pit can open the gate and which days it is staffed.
• My truck title has gone missing; which office near La Plata issues a new one?La Plata owners use NM MVD Field Office - Farmington, 10.4 miles away at 3501 E Main St #N, run by the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division. Once the Farmington counter hands you the duplicate, photograph it and include it with your truck pictures.
• Do you buy cattle haulers from ranches around La Plata?San Juan County’s 2,877 farms in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture lead with cattle, sheep and horses, and the trucks that haul that stock are ones we buy. Send photos of the truck and tell us the road it is parked on.
